Hey Doug! Thought I'd better chime in here with a belated congratulations - you did it! The Netherlands still seems very far away from us at the moment. Get home safe and wish your wife the best from us.

Sure was a long time ago we were riding together and you were spending too much time training me how to use my tablet. I don't think I would ever have stumbled on to some things you showed me.
Glad your stomach problems finally subsided. Must have been tough dealing with that and the heat.

I don't know what visa issue you are asking about. The only visa I needed before I started was the Russian visa. For Americans the 3 year multi entry visa is now standard.

This afternoon I rode the bike to Wallenius Wilhelms staging area in the Liverpool Port. The form I gave them took about 2 minutes to fill out. I gave him £680 and he said good bye. I couldn't believe it was that simple. He didn't even look at the bike. As I was leaving he did ask where it was.

A van picked me up and took me out of the restricted area. Then I walked to a bus stop.

When I got off of the bus I went to the train station to check the schedule and cost. Tomorrow I will take the train to Holyhead Wales. From there I will take a 3 hour ferry ride to Dublin. Then Friday morning I should be on a plane to Cincinnati. When the bike arrives in Norfolk in 2 weeks, I'll return to ride it home.

Sorry I only see a 28day visitors visa on the list I checked. Must be different for Irish people :(
